Artist's Statement:

Nature has been incorporated into most of my work for over thirty years.  Recently, I have re-activated my interest in both plein air painting and drawing the figure from life.  While I continue to enjoy allowing a painting to remain in its raw sketch form, I will sometimes develop them further in the studio if it calls for greater detail.
